tenant as to Ireland, may, upon application of the justices in 
quarter sessions assembled of any county, extend or vary the time 
during which the killing, wounding, and taking of wild fowl is 
prohibited by this Act; the extension or variation of such time by 
the Home Office shall be made by order under the hand of one of 
Her Majesty’s Principal Secretaries of State, after the making of 
which order the penalties imposed by this Act shall in such county 
apply only to offences committed during the time specified in such 
order, and the extension of such time by the Lord Lieutenant shall 
be made by order to be published in the Dublin Gazette, and a 
copy of the London Gazette or Dublin Gazette containing such 
order shall be evidence of the same having been made. 
4. Where any person shall be found offending against this Act, 
it shall be lawful for any person to require the person so offending 
to give his Christian name, surname, and place of abode, and in 
case the person offending shall, after being so required, refuse to 
give his real name or place of abode, or give an untrue name or 
place of abode, he shall be liable, on being convicted of any such 
offence before a justice of the peace or the sheriff, to forfeit and 
pay, in addition to the penalties imposed by section two, such sum 
of money not exceeding two pounds as to the convicting justice or 
sheriff shall seem meet, together with the costs of the conviction. 
5. One moiety of every penalty or forfeiture under this Act shall 
go and be paid to the person who shall inform and prosecute for 
the same, and the other moiety shall, in England, be paid to some 
one of the overseers of the poor, or to some other officer (as the 
convicting justice or justices may direct), of the parish, township, 
or place in which the offence shall have been committed, to be by 
such overseer or officer paid over to the use of the general rate of 
the county, riding, or division in which such parish, township, or 
place shall be situate, whether the same shall or shall not con- 
tribute to such general rate; and, in Scotland, to the inspector of 
the poor of the parish in which the offence shall have been com- 
mitted, to be by such inspector paid over to the use of the funds 
for the relief of the poor in such parish; and, if recovered in 
Ireland, such penalty shall be applied according to the provisions 
of the Fines Act (Ireland), 1851, or any Act amending the same.
